Third Motion: To adopt a resolution regarding the development and reporting of metrics for Expanding Housing Choices

Summary. Text amendment TC1800007 (Attachment B; B1-B6) includes amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) that would allow for more, and more varied, housing choices to be created in a context-sensitive manner predominantly within, but not completely limited to, the Urban Tier. Proposed UDO revisions include expanding the allowance of duplexes, a new small lot option, aligning duplex and attached single-family housing types with detached single-family standards, increasing the opportunities for accessory dwelling units, modifications to residential infill standards, and modifications to other associated standards.

Alignment with Strategic Plan: The text amendment emphasizes Goal 4 (Community Prosperity) by offering fair and reasonable regulations for the citizens and business community of Durham while adhering to Goal 5 (Accountable, Efficient, and Visionary Government).
